Letter from Pastor Don Butcher

To those serving in Israel,
Greetings in the name of our Lord:

I am still saying prayers for you and for Israel. Keep faith, courage, and knowledge, that God has not forsaken you nor Israel. I know not when Christ is coming for 'His Church'. I do however know and understand that the gospel (Death, Burial and Resurrection) must be preached, in all nations, this is more so each day and "Praise God" for that fact. I also understand that one day what Jeremiah the prophet said in Jeremiah 23 verse 5-8 will be fulfilled:

Behold, the days come saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch and a King [Jesus] shall reign and prosper and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In His days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is His name whereby He shall be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUNESS. Therefore, behold the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, the Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. But the Lord liveth which led the seed of the House of Israel out of the North Country and from all countries whither I had driven them: And they shall dwell in their own land.

Many of you are seeing, first hand, God at work. A foundation through you and our Lord is being laid for our Lords Reign and Rule. I have never been to Israel in person, yet one day, I shall reign and rule with you and our Lord. What a wonderful day that will be.

Keep Faith: Forsaking all, trust in Him.
Keep Courage: You can do all things through Christ.
Keep Love: For your Lord, your faith, your families.

Many prayers for you all!
Your brother in Christ
